RailClone > Work in Progress
how it works? in the horizontal position of the spline, everything is cut out
Yuriy Bochkaryov:
RailClon is a great plugin, it allows you to do cool things, BUT sometimes it's just awful, it can't do basic things, which makes the job unbearably long and complicated
why is geometry always cut easily if the splines are horizontal and there is always a problem, for many years I don't know why I put up with this, in 100% vertical position the splines stop cutting the geometry inside themselves
please fix this - and my life will be better, and not only mine
this problem has been preventing me from doing my job quickly for years, I don't know why I'm only writing about this now
this prevents railclone from being used in a vertical position
Thanks

Hello Yurly - does resetting the XForm of the spline once it is vertical help? I've found in the past that it sorts out these issues.
Cheers,
Paul

Hi Paul
reset xform. and Scale points of the spline help but very rarely
when the spline is in a horizontal position everything works perfectly, but if you use splines in a vertical position, problems immediately begin, the railclone refuses to cut the geometry
I attached the video to the post above, it shows that if you rotate the spline, then the problems are in the vertical position, even a slight slope of the splines allows it to work correctly, but not vertically
this is a very big problem for me, and probably for many
Now all projects increase the detail of the geometry, on the walls we use slats, tiles, bricks and much more with the help of railclone, but because of this error, I constantly suffer, spend a lot of time to find a solution to this problem.
Sometimes it is enough to scale the spline points to 0 value, but after I close and open the scene again, the railclone does not cut along the spline again, and I again have to scale the spline points to 0 value
If it works so perfectly with horizontal splines, what's the problem with vertical splines?
Haven't you been able to solve this problem for so many years?
What is the difference between horizontal and vertical splines?
Paul Roberts:
Hello Yurly - it's quite a complex thing to determine which splines are inside another and thus are cutting a hole vs creating a new array so sometimes we have to give it a helping hand. In the past things that have helped include resetting the XForm once the spline is vertical (as mentioned), but also giving RailCLone some clues by assigning the same Material ID to all the splines that make a single wall, and then using Hierarchy Checking > By Material ID
If you're able to upload a problematic spline then I'd be happy to take a further look.
Cheers,
Paul

Hi Paul
unfortunately now I don’t have such an example, I always solve the expected problem, or it’s a reset xform. either Scale points of the spline, or by simplifying the splines, I make a separate small fragment of the spline with a place where the geometry will be cut.
I just don't understand - why does it work so well in a horizontal position and so poorly in a vertical one?
Can you fix it?
I think that would be great! This will greatly facilitate the work for me, and for many beginners who will encounter this problem for the first time and will not know how to solve it due to lack of experience.
Thanks
